The Trump Administration's plan to dismantle the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is senseless & dangerous. It would weaken weather forecasting, climate research, & the science that keeps people safe. We urge that this plan be abandoned. Call Congress to #SaveNCAR today. buff.ly/7ka1BQA

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

Climate denialism, empowered by nihilists and know-nothings, undermining science & destroying the evidence that they previously just rejected. Meanwhile, out here in WA, roads are sliding into rivers (an unprecedented weather event) b/c it’s too damn warm to be raining this hard for this long.

Does anyone know of a good writeup/course/presentation/etc. for contract negotiations for community-run events like volunteer-led conferences? I'd love to pass it along to various groups I volunteer with (and learn myself) as we get into sponsor contract negotiation season for the coming year.

So I've had this idea bumping around in my brain forever, and I came across a few posts about gerrymandered districts that made me want to toss this out: What if the law was all districts must be a regular geometric shape such that each state picks one? E.g., state A picks hexagons. Stupid thought?

Even before I heard the devastating, horrific news of political assassination in Minnesota, I woke up this morning thinking about Emily Dickinson's great poem "'Hope' is the thing with feathers -" Lots of people know this beautiful little poem, but fewer, I think(?) realize when it was written. /1

I want to choose a data removal service for data brokers and the like. I know about the massive opt-out lists on GitHub to walk through, but I know data will reappear on the brokers as soon as I finish. Right now comparing Incogni and DeleteMe. Anyone use one and have a real review/advice for me?
